Ice climbing axe
The NOMIC ice axe sets the standard for ice climbing. Perfectly balanced, equipped with weights, it offers an exceptional swing. The PUR'ICE pick provides efficient placement in any type of ice. The shape of the ice axe and the double handle offer multiple grip modes, as well as stable hand switching. The grip is comfortable, thanks to the ergonomics of the handle and to the adjustable GRIPREST handrest. Featuring a minimalist hammer, the head is protected and allows the user to hammer a piton back in. Entirely modular, the ice axe can be optimized for the terrain.
Description
- Efficient placement on any type of ice:
- perfect shape and balance of the ice axe provide an exceptional swing

- inertia and striking quality are optimized, thanks to the MASSELOTTE weights
- Comfortable grip, designed for technical ice climbing:
- multiple grip modes and stable hand switching, thanks to the double handle (high and low)
- lower handle is offset to protect the hand from contact with the ice and to provide more comfort when suspended
- upper handle is over-molded and bi-material, offering excellent grip and insulation from the cold
- hydroformed shaft for optimal grip in the middle of the shaft

- entirely modular head allows the technical aspects of the ice axe to be adjusted
